Text Me Merry Christmas – Better Than Mariah Carey?

For my pants to start vibrating”[/quote_center]

Yup, you know a song is gonna be a good one when the lyrics involve vibrating pants. Get ready Mariah, Kristen Bell’s newest Christmas carol, Text me Merry Chrismas, is about to gain the same cult following status as your All I Want for Christmas is You.

Every year, MC’s holiday anthem reigns supreme in the charts even though it was recorded and released decades ago. This year marks its 20th anniversary and the royalties off the single are still pouring in for Mariah. The only problem is that she’s going to have some fierce competition this year. The quirky and lovable Frozen actress, Kristen Bell, has teamed up with Straight No Chaser to release a single that pokes fun at the importance of technology intertwined with Christmas.

As someone currently living that #LongDistanceRelationshipLyfe, I can personally attest that though the song is humorous, it hits close to home and is a little disheartening. Luckily for me, I won’t be living through the holidays via a text conversation, but for those out there who are, may I recommend a nice phone call as opposed to a text?

“We wanted a Christmas song that spoke to how informal communication has become,” SNC’s Randy Stine tells RyanSeacrest.com. “As soon as we heard the first demo it was apparent that it had to be a duet … the only voice we heard singing this was Kristen Bell and she nailed every note and delivered the lyrics with the perfect comedic tone. We were hanging on her every word … when we weren’t looking at our phones.”

So watch our MC, Text Me Merry Christmas might just be taking over the charts as the most popular holiday anthem this year. Did we also mention that we can’t get over how perfectly princessy Kristen Bell’s voice is? Love it!
